    Tip! If you're a Salesforce user, you can now also significantly reduce the time it takes to enter activities into Salesforce -- such as incoming emails that you want to record. Look for the "Connect" tab in your new Confirmed Outlook add-in. [This 2 minute demo gives you scoop and how to use it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRSILGtDCWA).

    Alert! For some corporate accounts, going through the login to your Microsoft account might require you to ask for permission from your IT department. In most cases, this means waiting to complete the connection until after IT gives you permission. Feel free to tell you IT department that Confirmed does not expose your information to the other party (except free/busy within the periods you designate) and that Confirmed uses best practices for security. It has even been designated as a secure system by multiple Fortune 100 accounts. If they still need more info, have them send a request to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
